It wasn’t that long ago Australians had only a handful of fast food options. Want a burger? Then it was probably McDonald’s or Hungry Jack’s. Desire for a chicken dinner would have led you to KFC, Red Rooster or, for those in Western Australia, Chicken Treat. Many will still remember Pizza Hut’s phone number jingle – unless you preferred Domino’s.
The number of fast food options have exploded over the past two decades. According to those who track the industry, store numbers will rise even faster over the coming years as international chains see massive growth potential in Australia amid a cost-of-living crisis.
